There's a fun event coming up that originated in the Twin Cities but has now gone global. April has 30 days, so clearly it's time for 30 Days of Biking.

The premise is simple. From their website,

The only rule for 30 Days of Biking is that you bike every day for 30 days--around the block, 20 miles to work, whatever suits you--then share your adventures online.

Keep up with them on Twitter or spread the word your own way. I did this last September and it was a good motivation to get on my bike, even on the reluctant days when I just rode around the block. Once I was out on my bike, "around the block" didn't quite multiply into "multi-mile ride," but it did often become a trip around three or four blocks. So there. I don't tweet (although I enjoy reading Feminist Hulk's Twitter) and I won't put you through daily blog updates, but I will be riding along and I'll go on a group ride with anyone interested (not limited to "Super Official Scheduled Rides," picnics optional).

Register here and consider joining them for a kick-off ride,  Friday, April 1. Starts at Gold Medal Park. We meet at 6 p.m., we ride at 6:30 p.m. "It's sure to be an epical ride!"
There's also the Short Shorts Ride on Saturday, April 2.

Get yourself a sweet pair of Daisy Dukes, cut-offs, or Yoga shorts, for the ride to ARTCRANK! Show off those gams. Starts at the Lake Calhoun Yacht Harbor. We meet at 4:00 p.m., we ride at 4:30 p.m.

And let us know if you ride!
